Description
Even though she was barely five and a half feet tall, the presence the woman commanded made her stick out in a crowd. Wisps of white hair gently swayed across her face, an interesting compliment to the paleness of her skin. Careful, attentive eyes surveyed the scene around her, no detail seeming to go unnoticed by the Paladin. Every step she took seemed to have importance, the woman always seeming to be busy going one place or another.Despite the heavy plate armor she wears, she carries herself with grace. This in of itself is a testament to her strength; the armor not seeming to hinder her in any aspect. Indeed it seems to just be another extension of her, something that had been apart of her her entire life. She is prepared, perhaps overly so. She is a master of all aspects of combat as a Paladin, be it defending her allies, healing them, or striking out at her enemies. Each role she has found a set of armor and weapons appropriate to the task, each one distinct to anyone familiar with her.
Story
Valencia was born in the relative tranquility of Elwynn Forest. She spent much of her childhood visiting the abbey in Northshire, finding comfort and enjoyment in the teachings of the Priesthood there. This time quickly came to an end, however, when the first invasion of the orcs occurred. Barely fifteen years old she and other refugees left Stormwind behind, fleeing to the north as the great city burned, most of her family lost in the chaos. Under the leadership of Lothar the displaced people arrived in Lordaeron, finding kinship amongst the people there.Her beloved abbey was one of the places hit hardest in the assault, and the surviving members of the order realized they were poor suited to the rigors of combat. In the five years after Stormwind's fall the Order of the Silver Hand was formed, members of the Priesthood donning heavy armor and war-maces, while those who were already knights or warriors were trained to augment themselves with the Holy Light. Though Valencia was still young she proved her worth to the Order, and was allowed to train and eventually fully join the Order. She accompanied them as the Alliance of Lordaeron met the Horde in combat, slowly but surely driving them back and reclaiming their former homeland. Though Stormwind was theirs once more, the Horde threat still remained.After the Hordes sudden excursion to gather powerful artifacts, and Terenas' subsequent order, she joined the expedition led by the Sons of Lothar to take the fight to the orcs home-world of Draenor. It is there they contended with the orcish hordes, but they proved too late; Ner'zhul had opened his portals to new worlds. The world was unable to handle the chaotic energies of Ner'zhuls magic. A grim realization set in; the destruction of Draenor risked the destruction of Azeroth. Though it meant their lives, the expedition dug in, destroying the portal and sealing the rift between worlds, sparing Azeroth the backlash of Draenors destruction.Unbeknownst to Azeroth, a small piece of Draenor remained, and the Expedition survived in the hellish lands of their new home. It would be over twenty five years before the portal was re-opened by Lord Kazzak, the sudden threat of a new invasion prompting both Alliance and Horde forces to journey forth and see what remained of the shattered world. Though she was given the opportunity to return to the homeland she sacrificed everything for, still she stayed, joining the fight against Illidan. It was only after the crazed elf finally fell that she returned home, the majority of her life having been spent on a world that was not her own.On her return, for her exceptional service during the campaign to Draenor she was given the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the Alliance Military. She spent the next several years, fighting a new Horde, still vying to protect her home and her people from those who would seek to end their way of life. Having heard of the woman's distinguished and decorated career, a man approached the battle-hardened Paladin, offering her rank amongst his guild. She can be seen today, still holding key Alliance interests with the command of her own unit, bringing glory to Alliance and guild both.
OOC Information
Welcome whomever you are and thank you for stopping by. This is my little slice of self I'm able to dabble in and form to whatever I wish. So hopefully it's provided some insight and entertainment.I'm Val, a former multi-classer, raid leader, officer, and just general logistics to many of my former guilds in the past decade. Now I just casually raid as my favourite class. Being mostly a raider I usually just do keys for my character vaults or for friends; capable of playing all three specs if provided the circumstance. That being said, helping others is a passion of mine that I consistently keep in touch with. So seeing me in other raid groups, communities, and guilds from time to time is par of the course for me be it helping in such a direct manner, coaching individual players, or simply sharing the information and/or experiences of my current raid team. Rest assured I will be there for you if requested.Though whenever I'm not playing WoW and I'm on my PC, I'll either create stories for myself of Valencia Whitmore, play cooperative PvE games ( as is in my nature, love helping others ) and sometimes dabble in PvP games though if I'm honest I get quite weary of hearing friends get distraught over unfavourable outcomes in their games so whenever I PvP it's absolutely in doses! Some examples would be games such as 7D2D, Payday, Minecraft, Remnant, CoD. Looking to play with me? Just hit me up.Now for my next trick, I'll cover a few common questions I get.What region do you play in?
US for WoW. Depending on the game I vary regions a lot for queues or to have friends play on easier ping, since GENERALLY I'm able to play just fine with 300-400 ping. Just have gotten used to it.Why do you get art of your character?
For SFW pieces, I love being able to bring a story I've got in my mind for Val into life. Particular pieces carry a ton of sentimental value for both the character itself and my experiences as playing as her for years. As for the NSFW content, it's quite simply explained. I have no sexual allure to my character or honestly the vast majority of characters out on the internet to date. My preference for Val in NSFW pieces is in pinups because I enjoy and very much appreciate that kind of styled art. This'll bleed into the next question.Would you be interested in an ERP scene?
No. 99.9% of the time I would not be interested in this. Despite the artistic depictions of my character, I am not keen to this kind of lewd story-telling if we can honestly call that most of the time. The only reason this isn't 100% is because if I do wish for a scene, it'll be very likely with a select few for a specific want.How about RP?
Meh, I've not had interest for either in a long time. Past few years it's just been writing stories for myself and narratives for art pieces. I'm sorry.Can I get art with your character?
Depends, I generally like to get to know a person first beforehand.
